The Book Doctor

When the International Mystery Writers’ Conference picks San Miguel for its seventh meeting, no one is surprised that murder is on the agenda. What is startling is that its first speaker is murdered in mid-sentence. Justus Barlow, noted critic and editor, falls to the platform halfway through his speech on the Death of the Adverb. Can the 200 mystery writer wannabes in attendance solve this case, or will it take the quirky insights of Paul Zacher and his friends? As a painter, Paul finds himself at sea in the world of publishing, as he digs deeper to reveal its murky and unsavory aspects. The Book Doctor is the tenth of the Murder in Mexico series, featuring painter turned detective, Paul Zacher.
